O LONG JOHN SILVER Ias fold byVJim Hawkinsj This seafearing man wifh a wooden leg Who knew wine or rum in boffle or keg, This man who so fearfully, horribly made Capfain Billy Bones so much afraid, 'Twas he, when I was in fhe apple barrel Sfarfed a plof fhaf led fo a quarrel. Buf I'was he, who, on our freasure frip, Served so well as fhel cook of fhe ship. Buf he was none fhe less a cunning debafer And more fhan once a ferrible fraifor. One fime he'd be on our good ,side And again in fhe Pirafes he'd confide. He was a hearfy worker, fhough, And wenf fo his work wifh a greaf heave ho. He was a very courageous man And faced a black spof as nobody can Whenever he wenf in quesf of fhe freasure I+ was fhe very greafesf pleasure To see him so calmly hopping around Fearless, and boldly holding his ground, Facing fhose pirafes enraged wifh greed Whom he had promised so much for each deed, Buf in fhe end fhis hypocrisy showed In such a way as need nof be knowed.
